Solar Cell Performance

Interface tailoring is an effective approach towards high performance Graphene/Silicon Schottky-barrier solar cells. Inserting a thin graphene oxide (GO) interfacial layer can improve the efficiency of graphene/silicon solar cells by >100%. Further performance optimization leads to 12.3% of power conversion efficiency (PCE). To date, a record PCE has been achieved on the same device level.
